I saw Nurk's video a few months back and wanted to build an X8 since. Its a lot of soldering and incredibly compact and dense, but realitively easy to build. I used a Caddx Vista from abother build where I killed the FC and some cheap Jhemcu 4 in 1 ESC'S. Took some used motors from one build and threw it all together. The bottom motors are brand new 3100kv Brotherhobby VY 1507's and the top motors are 2800kv Brotherhobby Avenger 1507's. Took it to a fun fly for its Maiden Flight and surprised how well it flew on default PID's. Now I want to build a larger X8

It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..
Read moreWith the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

Nice work, splendid stuff!. And yes, X8's are surprisingly great, especially the 3" machines, handle really well, and make the best noise!
